A member asked:
Hello i just recently about a month ago got a fistula surgery and i wanted to know if it being warm to the touch in the area where the fistula was placed is normal?

Healing: This can be a sign that the area is still healing. However, you should not develop a fever. If you are otherwise feeling OK and having normal bowel movements that is likely the reason for the warmth.
